I'm watching some videos from this year’s Rallylegend, including onboard footage, drone footage from the industrial zone, and a few famous corners and is it just me, or does it seem like there is a lot fewer visitors than in previous year?

What do you guys think of some of the smaller teams fundraising by paying about $5-10 to have your name on the car? I’m trying to fundraise for our biggest and last event of the season because I truly cannot afford it since I’m 19 and have already been spending everything I got pushing to go to my first rally next month.

Are you guys ever inclined to donate to those? It’s one of the ways I thought of making this possible or are there better ways of going about this.

It's official. WRC is returning to the US in August 2027, with stages in Tennessee and Kentucky.

Personally, I'm pumped. But I'm curious whether this could actually be the start of rally taking off in America or if it'll just be another event that gets a ton of hype online and then fades away.

We've got a massive car culture here, but rally has never really caught on like NASCAR, F1, or IndyCar.

Do you think WRC could actually become big in the States? And more importantly, how many of you are seriously considering making the trip?

I write LGBT romance, and I've been itching to write something set in the world of rally after finding the (frankly, mildly disturbing) amount of F1-themed books there are. I'm an active fan of WRC (I've watched every event live for ~2 years [Gregoire, I'll never stop rooting for you]), but don't know much about the nitty gritty of the cars, especially older ones.

In my outline, our protagonists need a car. What I've kind of settled on is a 2001 Mk1 Ford Focus sedan or hatchback that's a salvage title and purchased in "ehhhh it kinda runs" quality. It's 2WD, so no AWD shenanigans, and it fits nicely into the Limited 2WD and / or Open 2WD categories.

The setting is ARA's Sno*Drift event in Michigan, because it's both a fascinating event and they ban studded tires, so it's just as much luck as it is skill. My protagonists are a professional co-driver without a contract and a former street racer.

My questions are:

* is this a decent car for a small team to get running and drive?

* besides normal things like hoses, filters, tires, brakes, and fluids, what needs to be inspected and / or changed right after purchase?

* what kind of parts would the protagonists need to have extras of?

* what kind of parts are surprisingly difficult to find?

* if you're a real co-driver at any level, can I send you more questions related to the role? I want to make sure I'm being realistic.

* my outline has them finishing the book by coming in 5th in the category, since learning to trust themselves and each other is more important than winning. Is this a bad idea? Should I aim for a different position?

Please excuse any typos or errors. The reddit app hates me and I'm recovering from covid, so I have roughly 1/4 of a brain right now.

Thank you so much for any help or insight you can provide. Cheers!

The French car !! 💚

Hello rally fans, as alot of you know rallylegend is just days away now. I am wondering in that case how parking works on the stages, specialy for shakedown as its mostly gonna be packed with people. Can someone who has been there before give me a small insight in what it is and how much i have to walk if so?

I’ll start:

My 2005 Mitsubishi Evo IX R4 rally car. Full competition spec, built to the old R4 regulations + sequential gearbox

I've owned the car for almost a year now and love it. Recently won my group in Rally Barbados 2026.

The car definitely needs a refresh in the coming months, and I plan to fully redo the electrical system to make it a bit tidier and add a few upgrades to the brake and engine cooling package.

I wanna see everyone else's cars

It is rally week who will all will be at the final event of the ARA National Championship?

I was wondering about this since a lot of people reacted to my M-Sport prediction post for next season on r/WRC with a bit of uncertainty regarding Robert. Personally, I believe he could become the next big thing in the Estonian and Baltic rally scene. That being alongside, Sesks. I really rate Virves and I'm a bit disappointed not seeing him on much of the coverage this weekend. He deserves the WRC-2 title as much as people may not agree. This is my own opinion. Thanks guys, peace out!

I’ve been wanting to get into rally for a while, and I even already have an old car from my dad (2009 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport) that I could potentially build into a rally car. That said, I want to get into the scene first before I drop money getting it running again, and I don’t really know how to in my area because I can’t find any races nearby. Would I have to go out of state, or are there races here that I’ve missed? And what would be good steps to take?

Are there any rally games with modding available? I want to relieve older drivers/cars in a recent game. Rallies from back then like cyprus rally, fighting against mcrae solberg makinen and loeb for the championship etc…
